fwiw, i haven't had any problems at all with pics.

On this thread I haven't been able to see the top photo. Not from my home machine, using Firebird. And not from my work machine, using Firebird and IE. At least IE gives me a red X.
Same damn deal on this thread. On my home machine I forced the photo to appear via cut-n-paste. But from work machine, on both browsers, once it again it's a no-show. :bash

In both of the threads you mention, I had to look in the page source to see the url and then bring it up seperately before I could see the image in the threads. It could be a nested CNAME dns response issue if it worked on subsequent tries. The busted icon is coming from dgrin so the problem is clearly there. The threads where there is nothing at all is also clearly a dgrin problem.
I think the server is set to validate urls and either the time for that is too short or the validation should be turned off and just let the browsers do it.

Yeah, that's what I thought, a nested thingy-thumby. Thanks cmr. At least I'm not the only one. I'm sure Baldy and crew will fix it once advrider is up and running.
I'll just keep documenting them as they come. I can't see the first or second pic in this thread. Worse, when I cut and paste the URL, the pic still doesn't come up.
I opened the image in this thread in a separate window (ie 6) with no
problem. Back to dgrin, shift+refresh = no go. But as soon as I replied, the
image popped up in both the edit window and the screen. So I don't think it's
DNS timing. Unless the server is heavily loaded. Do you have access to the
server logs? A gross suggestion (if you can) that would help you test is to
add host entries for smugmug boxes to the host file and set the resolve
order to files:dns:... .

Please bear in mind that Charles (me/I) does not have any access to smugmug/dgrin or to the s/w installed there.
When there is a default gif or other indication on the screen, check the properties of that gif. The system that has the gif is the one that did not figure out the image. So far that has been dgrin in each case. When there has not been any sign of a gif or of a missing image, that also indicates a failure of s/w on dgrin although the logic is indirect. Mozilla/firefox/IE all will indicate a broken link with a local indication. Since that is not happening the implication is that dgrin is not even trying to show the image.
The above is just intelligent guessing of course.
More intelligent guessing is that the dgrin s/w checks validity of links before serving images and that the check has a timeout value for performance reasons. This would be the first place I would look to experiment with if I did have access to the s/w.

2/19 -- 1959 PDT. It's happening again. Same thread.
What's strange is if you cut and paste, you'll get the image. The problem
seems to occur more frequently with smugmug hosted images. I wish there
were some way to help other than just reporting.

I see it too.
I think Safari chokes on the weird buggy blend of html and xhtml.

This thread.
I can't see Andy's pics until I cut and paste the URL's. I thought this problem had gone away.
